We used ASA for VPN servicing traditional Cisco VPN client, newer SSL
anyconnect client, and site-to-site VPN. Very solid and stable. And
you can take advantage of security essential license.

We are beginning to look at replacing our Sonicwall firewalls.  My
experience is mostly with Cisco Pix, which were rock solid, and older ASA
code running on Pix appliances.  Are the new ASA appliances as stable as the
old Pix boxes?



Our needs are simple; stateful firewall, User VPN, site to site VPN, and a
handful of SSL VPN connections if possible.  I prefer appliances, but am
open to any suggestions.  Platform stability is my greatest concern.



Anyone out there running a Linux FW appliance like Vyatta?  If so
experiences and feedback would be welcome.







Thanks for any suggestions or feedback,

Brian
